Seems that sftp wants a terminal for stdout. Does your sftp client have -b (batch) option? Maybe that will work and allow you capture stdout?

Most sftp programs don't have a --password option and expect you to use ssh keys and go passwordless for a 'batch' operation (just saying). In which case you might even be able to use scp instead of sftp.
